Shipment status


It shows the current status of shipments. An order can have one of the following statuses.

Pending payment: order is unpaid or partially paid.
Generally, you don't need to do any actions if order is Pending payment. After the order is paid, it will move to Awaiting shipment.

Awaiting shipment: order is being prepared to ship.
As TikTok handles the shipping, you only need to verify the order info and do "create label" action.
When do the "create label" action, AfterShip Shipping requests TikTok to start the handover process, it's the same as TikTok step "Order handover to platform shipping carrier".

Shipped:: after "create label" success and TikTok receives the request, orders become Shipped status in AfterShip Shipping.
You can get TikTok labels when orders become Shipped status. Depends on each end platform shipping carrier, it may cost different time to get the labels.
Please note it doesn't mean the orders have been shipped to customers. The TikTok orders still change to "Awaiting Collection" status in TikTok Shop

Others: it includes orders that have been canceled.
